Event Histories
Motorola Netopia® Embedded Software Version 8.7.4 records certain relevant occurrences in event histories.
Event histories are useful for diagnosing problems because they list what happened before, during, and after a
problem occurs. You can view two different event histories: one for the gateway’s system and one for the WAN.
The gateway’s event histories are structured to display the most recent events first, and to make it easy to
distinguish error messages from informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an asterisk. Both
the WAN Event History and Device Event History retain records of the 128 most recent events.
In the Statistics & Logs screen, select WAN Event History or Device Event History.
WAN Event History
The WAN Event History screen lists a total of 128 events on the WAN. The most recent events appear at the
top.
Each entry in the list contains the following information:
Date: Date of the event.
Time: Time of the event.
Event: A brief description of the event.
Ch.: The channel involved in the event.
